Hi there, Something learnt days ago and copied over from my site to share within our community... Plate Heat Exchanger having narrow channel most probably "not recommended" for fluid contains solid and/or slurry services. However, there are still many success story of using PHE in abovementioned services.
i) 80% of the particles are less than 70% of the interplate gap on the heat exchanger.
ii) 100% of the particles are less than 90% of the interplate gap iii) Flowing velocity is below erosional velocity (causes premature plate failure) iv) The minimum wall temperature is above a point where crystal growth is expected. WebWorm Visiti Me... CHEMICAL & PROCESS TECHNOLOGY (http://webwormcpt.blogspot.com/) There are some rule-of-thumbs to gage if a plate heat exchanger suitable for fluid contains solid or slurry : |

FOR THE FOURTH YEAR RUNNING, Dow Chemical and BASF are the leading two companies in C&EN's survey of the global Top 50 chemical companies . And for the fourth year running, in what has become a good-natured but intense rivalry, Dow leads BASF, although the two companies' chemical sales differ by less than 2%.No surprises there. And no surprises, either, in the presence of the chemical businesses of oil giants Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil, China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (Sinopec), and Total in the top 10. A surprise did come in, though, with the dramatic entry into the top five of Ineos Group, which has been cobbled together by a string of major acquisitions. |

You may have noticed a recurring theme in my editorials of late. In
recent weeks, I’ve been to the Expertune/TiPs Users Conference, ABB’s
Automation World, ARC’s Forum, and the Invensys Process Systems
Customer Conference.
After these events, I reported how speakers talked about extracting
useful data from the process control system for optimization, financial
purposes, plant economics, collaborative manufacturing strategies, and
so on.
